My main task was to develop an interactive and editable Gantt chart within the application that was specific to supplier data. I presented the solution to the consumers, who gave continuous feedback for iteration. The solution is currently deployed and being used by the consumers, and the groundwork I laid for this chart will be used in a future subproject to develop a way to produce production plans. I had the chance to learn a lot technically by developing in Angular for the first time, adapting different libraries to use in the application, and writing front-end unit tests. Personally, I learned a lot about the aerospace manufacturing industry and improved my Korean skills.
Amanda's story
Amanda Tong, a computation and cognition major, worked at Boeing Korea Engineering Technology Center (BKETC), on the Future Production Capability (FPC) team as a front-end engineer intern working on an application that sought to improve supplier oversight, production readiness, and supplier data transparency.
"As someone who wants to work in Korea as a software engineer, this exact job was basically what I wanted post-graduation. I thoroughly enjoyed continuing to speak the language, learning about the culture, doing the kind of work I like, and being exposed to a new kind of workplace in Korea. It confirmed to me that working in Korea would be something I want to continue doing."Amanda Tong '24
